I was recently approached for a direct swap with a girl from Argentina, she is an art student and interested in swapping artists postcards. Of course this is totally up my street!
I have had this Jeff Koons postcard for a while now. I don’t just send my artist postcards to anyone, it has to be to someone I know will appreciate it. I really enjoy the playfully kitsch nature of Koons’ work, and was excited to send it to my new pen pal across the Atlantic. I can’t wait to receive her postcard to me!
Jeff Koons (1955-)
Koons is an American artist who’s work encapsulates popular culture, and creates reproductions of banal objects, most famously his oversized stainless steel balloon animals. His work has broken records for the largest price sold at auction by a living artist, with Koon’s Balloon Dog (Orange) selling for $58m.4. Koons states that is work contains no hidden meanings, and is often critiqued for being kitsch, but it is this quality that draws many, like my self to enjoy his work.
